The two rotary shafts 21 are short shafts and are located on the same axis, and the shared axis penetrates through the center of the fan body 1. The rotary underframe 22 is a U-shaped frame and is specifically formed by bending a long metal piece, and round through holes 221 are formed in the two ends of the rotary underframe 22. One end of the rotary shafts 21 is fixedly connected with the first net cover 11 and/or the second net cover 12 of the fan body 1, the other end of the rotary shafts 21 stretches into the round through holes 221 in the ends of the rotary underframe 22, and the end portions 211 of the other ends of the rotary shafts 21 protrude out of the rotary underframe 22. The rotary shafts 21 can rotate relative to the rotary underframe 22 when not fixed, and the free rotating angle of the rotary shafts 21 can reach 360 degrees. When needing to be fixed, the rotary shafts 21 and the rotary underframe 22 can be fixed through threads, for example, the end portions 211, protruding out of the rotary underframe 22, of the rotary shafts 21 are provided with external threads, and the rotary shafts 21 are fixed to the rotary underframe 22 in a screwed mode through nuts; when the angle of the fan body 1 relative to the rotary underframe 22 needs to be adjusted, the nuts are unscrewed, the fan body 1 is adjusted to the required angle, and then the nuts are screwed. The rotary underframe 22 and a base 32 can also be connected in another way, for example, a clamping mechanism is arranged between each rotary shaft 21 and the rotary underframe 22, concave parts and convex teeth which can be clamped with the concave parts are arranged on the clamping mechanism, and when a user rotates the rotary shafts 21 relative to the rotary underframe 22 by certain angles by overcoming the friction force between the concave parts and the convex teeth, the rotary shafts 21 can be fixed to each clamping position to a certain extent without becoming loose.

The bottom of the rotary underframe 22 is connected with the base 32, specifically, the rotary underframe 22 can be connected with the base 32 in the rotatably adjustable mode around the central axis of the rotary underframe 22, and the central axis of the rotary underframe 22 penetrates through the center of the fan body 1 and is perpendicular to the shared axis of the rotary shafts 21. The rotary underframe 22 and the base 32 can be connected through the threads, for example, the screws are made to penetrate through the rotary underframe 22 and the base 32 at the same time and are screwed through the nuts. When the angle of the rotary underframe 22 relative to the base 32 needs to be adjusted, the nuts are unscrewed, the rotary underframe 22 is adjusted to the required angle, and then the nuts are screwed. The free adjustment angle can reach 360 degrees. The anti-sliding piece 31 is clamped between the rotary underframe 22 and the base 32 and used for preventing sliding and paint falling or damage caused by friction between the rotary underframe 22 and the base 32, so that the abrasion resistance is improved. The rotary underframe 22 and the base 32 can also be connected in another way, that is, a clamping mechanism is arranged between the rotary underframe 22 and the base 32, and concave parts and convex teeth clamped with the concave parts are arranged on the clamping mechanism. When the user rotates the rotary underframe 22 relative to the base 32 by a certain angle by overcoming the friction force between the concave parts and the convex teeth, the rotary underframe 22 can be fixed to each clamping position to a certain extent without becoming loose.

Please refer to FIGS. 6(a) and 6(b) which are the schematic diagram of the hook of embodiments of the invention, wherein FIG. 6 (a) is the front view of the hook, and FIG. 6 (b) is the section view of the hook.

The fixing legs are not limited to be in the U shape and can also be in an M shape or a V shape or an E shape and the like, or be of the structure of half of the M shape or the V shape or the E shape and the like, or the structure which has a radian and is changed from the M shape or the V shape or the E shape and the like, and the fixing legs can be in any shape provided with the ends which can make contact with the wall surface or the table surface to form the supporting points. When the fan of embodiments of the present invention is fixed to a lumpy surface or a curved surface for use, the shape of the fixing legs can be changed accordingly, for example, the straight connection parts are changed into curved connection parts, and the inclination angles of the ends of the curved parts are changed, so that the fixing legs adapt to the lumpy surface or the curved surface; meanwhile, the shape and length of the hook can also be changed accordingly. The number of the fixing legs is not limited to two and can be one or three or more. The shapes and sizes of the two fixing legs can also be inconsistent. The number and positions of the ends forming the supporting points can also be changed accordingly; in the above embodiment, the four supporting points are located on the four vertexes of a rectangle, the supporting points can also be the four vertexes of an isosceles trapezoid or the three vertexes of an isosceles triangle, and at the moment, a supporting point located on the central axis of the base also exists besides two bilaterally-symmetrical supporting points.
